Just had to let you know that my resolve to be more timely in the making and sending of my assigned Hexies is working!!
Celine in UK--your grey hexies for March were mailed last week.
Cathy in Canada--your April hexies will be mailed in the morning. That officially means I am current to date. Sorry there are no photos (I'm not that good)!
Thanks gals, your hexies are a bright spot in my mailbox each month. I think I have been in this swap for a few years, I have a basket full of beautiful dotted hexies. I'm getting ideas of how to put these together. I always appreciate seeing how others in this swap are using their flowers.
Thanks again for your friendship.

I received a wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday! Lynette sent me a set of second round hexies, a nice card and a couple of tea samples. The card said it was a thank-you for my contribution to keeping the group going. Well, pshaw....

Here are the second round hexies with the flower I chose to add them to. They aren't sewn on yet, but half the task is picking a flower for them. :)

This will be a gorgeous addition to my quilt! Thanks so much Lynette!! I'll be trying out the tea soon.

when I let life get in the way of my love for quilting and everything that goes along with it!!

I finished my 2 flowers for Grit K. in Germany the first few days of March, but I kept them so I could show them at the March Guild meeting because the March Challenge was making Hexie Flowers. I put them back in the box that night and forgot about them until I got Irene's email for the April flowers.

Here is a sneekie peek at Grit's flowers ~

Grit, they are going in the mail tomorrow morning and I am sorry they are late!!

I haven't posted on the blog in a very very long while but I have continued to make flowers (not always right on time) and receive stepping stones over the months. It is time to sit down and post I think, as I am just finishing stitching my March hexies for Beverly today.

These ones were for Cathy in February

and some yellow ones for Simone in January

Michell had already posted that she received my red December flowers

Those were my flowers for Michele in November

and some for Melody in October

yellow flowers in September

some pink ones for Maree in August

And finally bright colours for Lynette in July.

I will soon post pictures of all the stones I have received since last year and will try to post more regularly too!
